NovelEnglishLilian was a typical egoist. 5 No matter what it was, she would only consider one thing, and that was whether it would bring any benefit to herself at all. 4 If anyone could bring any benefits to herself, even if it was a garbage collector on the side of the road, she would welchim with a smile on her face and a welcoming gesture. 1 However, if the other party would not be able to bring any benefits to her at all, she would not be bothered to give him face, even if he was the president of the United States. 13 So, even if Charlie and his wife were both driving top luxury cars that were worth more than one hundred million dollars to marry Magnolia off, this did not change Lilian's opinion of Magnolia at all. 2 She knew that giving face was a very superficial thing and that only benefits that could be physically obtained were real.
So, what if Magnolia had a very wealthy and powerful friend? Would she be able to get him to even give them a single cent of his money? Would she be able to take care of their family's business in the future? Would she be able to take our whole family to the next level? 8 If she could do so, then Lilian would naturally treat her nicely. She would even be willing to show her respect, as though Magnolia was her grandmother! 1 However, if she could not do so, then she would never be able to marry into their family today. 4 The reason why Lilian had agreed to hold this banquet was simply because she did not want to oppose the wedding directly and make her son hate her for it. Therefore, she agreed to hold the wedding banquet first and she was planning to use various methods to find fault with Magnolia. She was also planning to use satirical and sarcastic remarks to force Magnolia to willingly give up on marrying her son. That way, her son would not blher for this, i Now, she would have plenty of reasons to cause trouble with Magnolia then. The biggest reason that she was going to use was, why didn't her parents cto attend their wedding today? 6 So, at this time, Lilian walked up to Magnolia before she said coldly, "Magnolia, where are your parents? Why aren't they here?" Magnolia hurriedly replied, "Auntie, my parents, they H As Magnolia spoke, she could not help but hesitate for a moment.
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that it was indeed very unreasonable for her parents not to show up here when she was supposed to get married today.
However, Magnolia did not know how to answer this question now that her future mother-in-law was suddenly questioning her like this. 9 When she saw that Magnolia was not speaking, Lilian yelled coldly, "Oh, Magnolia, it seems like you're really thinking very highly of yourself now. Do you think that your future mother-in-law means nothing in your eyes now that you know a few wealthy friends? I'm talking to you but you are being so standoffish and answeringin such a half-hearted manner now?"
Magnolia hurriedly waved her hand before she started explaining respectfully, "Auntie, I'm not going to e hide the truth from you. My parents aren't very happy. So, they might not be coming to attend the wedding today. Please be understanding!" 2
"Oh!" Lilian said angrily, "Does that mean that your family actually looks down on our family? Your parents are really very interesting. Their own ting. daughter is getting married but they don't even bother to show up at your wedding at all. Just take a look and see if there are any other parents in Aurous Hill who are just like your parents? If this news spreads out to the public, then how is the Scotson family going to have any more face in the future?" 6
Magnolia's eyes were red and she hurriedly apologized as she said, "I'm really sorry, Auntie. My parents' situation is a little special. They've been very unhappy all along because of the matter regarding the dowry They were also not very happy when I was leaving the house this morning. So, please be more understanding of my situation..." 1 "Unhappy?" Lilian knitted her brows together when she heard this. After that, she shouted, "This is simply preposterous! What's your family background and what's our family background? If you could marry into our family, then you would have already climbed up the social ladder! Why? Is your family looking down on our family? If your family looks down on our family, then they should have just stopped you from marrying into our family then!" Like RICH WOMEN?
